The consequences of Brexit for the island of Ireland and for all the people of this island will be far-reaching. Last week, the Taoiseach said he intended to bring a memorandum to Cabinet on the implications of Brexit and also that he would make a statement on Brexit today. Will the Taoiseach confirm if he brought a memorandum to Cabinet and, if so, will it be published? The British Government published its White Paper two weeks ago. Does the Taoiseach's memorandum reference a commitment by the Government to produce a White Paper on Brexit that would set out the Government's overall strategic approach to negotiations and economic, trade, political and other objectives and will it spell out how the Government plans to defend the Good Friday Agreement and the democratic vote of the citizens in the North to remain within the European Union?

I thank Deputy Adams for his questions. I brought a memorandum on Brexit to Government on Tuesday, which took into account all previous and ongoing work in relation to Brexit, including the determination of priorities in the context of the work that is under way such that negotiations can commence properly once Article 50 is triggered. I intend to make a statement on Brexit later this afternoon. The Deputy will be aware that the second all-island forum takes place this Friday. It will provide an opportunity for people to react to today's debate and to put forward additional proposals in regard to the drafting of our final plan in respect of the work we have to do when negotiations commence. I will publish the memorandum and the statement I will make later today. I look forward to hearing Deputy Adams's contribution at the all-island forum here in Dublin.
